Greatest road songs

[saskman1950]

What do you consider to be the greatest road driving songs?
Some tune that when you hear it, you want to sing along...or drive juuuuust a liitle bit faster..

I'll state the obvious

Born to be Wild
Radar Love

 

[DurWinning]

For me it always has to be Metallica and that number 1 song For Whom the Bell Tolls

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Driving Wheel - Foghat
Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty
Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue
Knight Jumps Queen - Annihilator

Those are 5 I listen to most of the time when driving like a maniac. Of course there are other songs as well, but I can't think of them off the top of my head (it's 4 AM over here, and only got 5 hours of sleep due to sleep deprivation).

Hmmmmm that's such a good song 👍

This is one of my favs..

There's a nice story why I like this song so much.. I was driving to campsite with a friend in his mothers Suzuki Alto, 0.9l 3cyl We couldn't get on the hill so we had to push his car when this song came on, when some random guy walked by and said: well this sure aint no monster!

And if you like a bit of chilling electro..

Sometimes even little cars being pushed up hills...they TOO can be Monsters

I thought of another by Golden Earring....Twilight Zone (When the bullet hits the bone)
Dance the Night Away..Van Halen
Peace of Mind..Boston

It actually was at that moment

You may remember this from GT5, love this song. Their album is very good too..

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Mostly D'n'B (The Qemists, The Prodigy, Pendulum) or fast-paced metal. Power/speed metal like DragonForce or Powerglove works well.

I'm all for the classics, but I'm a lot more modern with my driving music.

Of course...it's a generational thing...not one bad, but just all good and different.

Basically, take the OST from a Japanese racing game and add a dash of speed metal.

I'm just waiting for someone who has seen the Top Gear episode to suggest Meat Loaf

 

[Corsa]

Artist: First State
Song: Reach Me

My god this song is amazing. Check it out.

I found two more

If I am sad and play forza 4 to cheer me up I Play Welcome Home ( Sanitarium )
If I am happy I Play Disposable Heroes
Both by Metallica both kickass songs both songs that are great to drive to
